Group Data by Color in a Viz

Group Data by Color in a Viz

Security:
Discovery Boards: Create
domain in the System functional area.
For some viz types, you can add a field to the Color drop zone to encode the marks so the groups are visually differentiated.
Most viz types, such as Chart and Donut Chart, accept an attribute field in Color, which creates additional groupings in the viz. Heatmap vizzes accept a summarization field in Color.
  1. (Area Chart, Bar Chart, Chart, and Line Chart viz) Select a viz with at least 1 attribute field in the
    X-Axis
    drop zone.
  2. (Donut Chart viz) Select a Donut Chart viz with a summarization field in the
    Angle
    drop zone.
  3. (Heatmap viz) Select a Heatmap viz.
  4. Place a field in the
    Color
    drop zone.
    Suppose you have a Chart viz, and you place the worker field in
    X-Axis
    , Count in
    Y-Axis
    , and the gender field in
    Color
    . The viz groups the workers by gender and uses a different color for each gender.
